Nokia has released a new exclusive app for Lumia Windows Phone devices. Nokia Chat app for Windows Phone which is in beta allows you to stay in touch with your Nokia Chat and Yahoo! Messenger contacts.
App Features:
Person to Person Messaging: Reach millions of Nokia Chat and Yahoo! Messenger users across different mobile and computer platforms.
Push Notifications and Live Tile Updates: Receive new message notifications, preview new messages, and see how many notifications you’ve received – even when Nokia Chat isn’t running.
Share a Place: Send information about a restaurant, store, or other point of interest. If the recipient is also using a Lumia, they’ll see details, directions, and reviews inside the HERE Maps app.
Broadcast Your Location: Optionally include your city or neighborhood in your status message, so your friends and family know when you’re near or faraway.
Find Contacts: Scan your phone’s address book to find friends and family who already use Nokia Chat and Yahoo! Messenger.
And if you’re using a Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8, you can take advantage of these additional features:
Speak Your Message: Compose a message by pressing speak, and what you say will be translated into text.
Voice Commands: Start Nokia Chat by long-pressing the Windows key and saying “Chat with” and the name of an existing contact: for example, “Chat with John”.
Lock Screen Notifications: See how many Nokia Chat notifications you have on your lock screen. Start the built-in Settings app and select “lock screen” to begin.
The app is available in United States, United Kingdom, India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Nigeria for now. Download Nokia Chat for Windows Phone
